A celebration of the second season of CreativeMornings/Austin, this video was a collaboration between poets Denise Lanier & Danny Strack, street artist BRIKS, every speaker from our 2nd season and the entire #CMATX team. This performance was the first and only time that “Second Cut” has been performed live and is the result of countless hours of editing and remixing by Denise Lanier. The film was shot by Scott Clark and edited by Erik Proulx.

About the speaker

This month, we’re breaking with one of our traditions to put a spotlight on yours.

Instead of one speaker, we’ll hold a “Toast to Traditions” with a bunch of Austinites telling funny, heart-warming, and weird tales of traditions. It’s like a Secret Santa where your stories are the gift.

If you have a short story—one that can be told in two minutes or so—please click here to submit your story for inclusion. It could stem from work, friends, family, lovers, school, hobbies, the holidays, not the holidays… anything.

We look forward to hearing what you’d like to share, and seeing y'all on Friday!
